Draw-Iron Operations Earn Accolades for Aerosol Can

Packaging manufacturer Tubex has earned a Can of the Year Award for an aerosol can produced on a Schuler Icon V-drive vertical can-forming machine. Tubex received the award at The Canmaker Summit in Scotland. The award-winning can measures 50 mm in diameter and has rounded shoulders. Compared to forming the can using a conventional impact-extrusion process, the Schuler machine results in a thinner wall that reduces material consumption by 20 percent.
